Jim Hill Has The John Carter Dish

According to Jim Hill Media, Robert Zemeckis and John Lasseter are to produce John Carter of Mars as a motion capture film (reported here yesterday) to be directed by Andrew Stanton (reported here weeks ago). They also reveal that the Zemeckis and Disney deal was behind the Mouse House's pursuit of the John Carter project.

Zemeckis, Stanton and Lasseter: how could this get better? Perhaps by signing Neil Gaiman to write the screenplay...
